Senior Research & Development Engineer - RDE

Who We Are

Omen is miniaturizing lab-grade spectroscopy into field-deployable embedded

sensors. Our systems deliver PPM-level trace analysis reports on the fluids in

industrial machines and datacenters, allowing us to detect complex wear trends

like bearing failures or coolant contamination in real-time. With this data we can

automatically match anomalies with failure modes weeks to months before

catastrophic failure occurs.

Our team is a tightly knit group of ~20 builders, dropouts, and industry veterans.

We don’t build things that are good enough, we build things that are 100x better.

The Challenge

Omen Scout: for closed-loop hydraulic and lubricating oils.

Omen Sentry: for direct-to-chip liquid cooling loops (typ. water/glycol

mixtures).

While our early-stage prototypes have proven the core viability of our

spectroscopy techniques, we need an R&D Engineer to act as our primary

explorer. You will focus on the fundamental physics of our optical and fluidic

systems, proving out new sensing modalities and taking early concepts from

whiteboards to working benchtop prototypes.
